This Kanban Board Online is a tool for visualizing work and workflow and optimizing how work is completed. It is inspired by the Japanese word Kanban, which means visual signal or card, and it also refers to the Kanban Method of process improvement. Online Kanban boards, like physical Kanban boards, use vertical and horizontal lanes to represent the steps that work takes to progress from start to finish. Work items are typically moved from left to right on a board, beginning with a backlog of future work things in the far left lane and ending with completed work items in the far right Done lane.
